To that end, have a song! Vince Guaraldi's Theme to the Thanksgiving Special

Now please go somewhere and buy a copy of the song. It's pretty much tied with The Great Pumpkin Waltz as my favorite Vince Guaraldi song and I think it could use the promotion.
Holly and I aren't going anywhere because I have a policy about the holidays.
My police is this, "Fuck Arbor Day!"
Try is sometime...
Relative: You're coming to Thanksgiving, right?
You: No.
Relative: Why?
You: Because Fuck Arbor day.
Relative: But I'm talking about Thanks... (it is important to cut them off and yell at this point)
You: I said, FUCK ARBOR DAY!
You will be surprised at how quickly people get the message that you'd rather sit half drunk, half asleep and half watching football instead of going to see people you don't like but are related to by blood. In fact, if you really get into it, they might leave you alone all together. I don't even drink or watch football, but I'm being allowed to sit at home and watch old westerns. Syd has no such policy and thus is being forced to go to her Grandmother's house. Well, forced is probably a little strong, she's not being held at gunpoint or anything. However, it does prove the usefulness of having a policy in place to deal with these situations.
